DayZ Update 1.73 Released, as Official Servers Suffer Outages This October 31

Bohemia Interactive has brought out another round of fixes to DayZ for both consoles and PC. Players can download DayZ update 1.73 now, and this has a different set of fixes on consoles and PC, with the complete details available below.

This doesn’t bring any Frostline DLC fixes on consoles, and rather, seems to focus more on server-related issues.

However, it seems this update has caused issues with the official servers, as Bohemia has confirmed that they are currently working on it, though community servers should be working as normal.

🟢Update is now live! The client is available to download. We are having some issues with the official servers on all platforms, No ETA for now but the team is working to get them online. Community servers should be working as normal.

If there’s any news on this, we’ll update the article, the studio has not given an ETA on when the official servers will be fixed.

In other DayZ news, it seems the Frostline DLC is a huge hit, as the game managed to reach all-new player highs after it was released.

If there’s another update released, we’ll be sure to let our readers know
